Abstract: An air shutoff valve includes a passage for supplying air, a swing gate, a shaft attached to a reset handle, and a spring to urge the gate toward its closed position. A trigger assembly secures the shaft and gate in the open position and includes an actuator, a cam, and a rocker arm. A cam surface of the arm has a notch to receive a sear point of the cam. Movement of the handle against the spring causes the cam contact surface of the cam to follow the cam surface to cause the arm to rotate such that the sear point is received in the notch. Actuating the actuator causes the arm to pivot away from the cam such that the sear point is released from the notch, wherein the spring causes the shaft to move the gate to its closed position.

Title: Optimisation de la procedure pour l'elaboration d'un programme de retraite (opepr)
Inventor: RIBIERE DOMINIQUE
IPC: G06Q40/06
Filed: 2015-03-23
Abstract: Objet : Précis Le procédé inventé est un processus d'optimisation d'épargne et de facilitation de l'atteinte des objectifs de retraite de chaque canadien. Ce procédé est constitué des parties suivantes : .cndot.     Prêt. .cndot.     Choix d'investissement. .cndot.     Choix avec attention de la forme fiscale offerte par le gouvernement. .cndot.     Choix de l'investissement ayant la possibilité de pouvoir supporter des redevances récurrentes et de pourvoir une création de revenus. .cndot.     Déductibilité des intérêts. .cndot.     Réinjections des fonds à l'intérieur de différentes dispositions fiscales offertes par le gouvernement. Une fois le prêt accordé, il faut l'investir. A la suite de l'investissement de ce prêt, celui-ci générera des flux monétaires et ces flux monétaires serviront à deux choses distinctes : .cndot.     Payer les intérêts du prêt. .cndot.     Réinjecter les redevances ou distributions excédentaires soit : .cndot.     A l'intérieur d'un CELI (Compte d'Épargne Libre d'impôt). .cndot.     A l'intérieur d'un REER (Régime Enregistré d'Épargne Retraite). .cndot.     A l'intérieur d'une police d'assurance exonérée. .cndot.     Constituera une rente supplémentaire de retraite. Donc en résumé si l'investissement rapporte un gain d'une moyenne de 9% par année et que les redevances ou distributions sont de 8%, 7% ou encore de 6% annuellement, en payant le coût des intérêts qui pourrait être de 5%, 4% ou encore 3,5% annuellement , le client pourra donc réinjecter la différence en CELI ou en REER ou autres dispositions mentionnées ci-haut. Ce procédé implique au minimum deux comptes d'investissements. Le procédé  revendiqué est le réinvestissement ou réinjection des distributions excédentaires, celles qui rembourseraient le prêt, créant ainsi un processus d'épargne optimal et permettra aux clients une continuation d'épargne même en période difficile.

Title: Methods of and apparatus for measuring metal cleanliness
Inventor: THORNTON GARY
IPC: G01N15/02
Filed: 2014-03-10
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring the cleanliness of molten metals. Direct current is passed between electrodes through molten metal advancing through a passage in an electrically resistive wall. A voltage signal is analyzed for the presence of solid generally non-metallic inclusions in the metal. Direct current is supplied by one or more ultra-capacitors and the decay in discharge voltage of the capacitor(s) is compensated for by passing the current from each capacitor through a resistor ladder network circuit having resistors connected in parallel. Individual resistors are switched on or off in a sequence effective to change the resistance of the circuit and maintain the current within a predetermined range. Heat generation and noise pick-up are minimized by maintaining a low discharge voltage and measurement current while using FETs only in the fully ON or OFF conditions to switch the resistors into or out of the circuits.
